Quality, Choice and Service

We pride ourselves on stocking a great choice of quality instruments and providing an excellent back up service.

Thermometer Superstore specialise in the sale of all types of temperature monitoring equipment. This includes thermometers, dataloggers and high specification auditor and wireless equipment. In addition we also supply other measuring instruments including a range of hygrometers and moisture meters, pH meters, wind meters and light meters.

Our clients include food manufacturers, local authorities, housing associations, NHS Trusts and supermarkets but we also sell thermometers direct to the public. Our home range includes wall and garden thermometers, outdoor thermometers, healthcare instruments including digital ear thermometers, nursery thermometers, bathroom thermometers and aquarium thermometers. Our business instruments range from low cost digital thermometers which are ideal for small catering establishments, to high end professional electronic thermometers for food business where accurate temperature monitoring is critical for complying with food safety systems and legislative requirements.

Our industrial thermometer range includes instruments for measuring heating and ventilation systems, Legionella testing kits and air temperature thermometers.

Thermometers can help provide a safer environment. An ear thermometer is useful for healthcare professionals and home users alike and will accurately measure body temperature. Using a bath thermometer will ensure that the water is at a safe temperature before getting in – especially useful for parents with young children. A hypothermia thermometer will provide a quick check that room temperatures are warm enough, without being too warm and wasting money on unnecessary heating.

An infrared thermometer is useful for measuring the surface temperatures of objects. They are non-contact instruments and an infrared thermometer has the added advantage of being extremely quick and easy to use – you only need point at the subject to be measured and push the button for an instant reading. We have an extensive range of infrared thermometers including laser versions which add accuracy by identifying the area of the subject being measured. They are available in both pocket-sized versions as well as larger “gun-style” instruments. An infrared thermometer is idea for measuring high temperature objects because of their wide measurement range and the fact that no contact is necessary.

Making sure food is properly cooked is an essential part of ensuring that it is safe to eat and Thermometer Superstore stocks a range of thermometers for measuring oven and cooking temperatures. Oven thermometers measure the oven’s air temperature and are often used to check that an oven’s thermostat is operating correctly. Oven thermometers are available in digital, spirit and dial versions. A meat thermometer is designed specifically to measure the internal temperature of the food whilst it is being cooked, to ensure any harmful bacteria within the product are killed off. In addition to our meat thermometer range, we also have frying thermometers and microwave thermometers.

Most catering establishments will own a digital thermometer or digital probe thermometer as it is often known. These thermometers allow the temperature of food to be checked at all stages of food production to ensure that food is kept outside of the “danger zone” - the temperature range at which bacteria grow fastest. As a simple digital thermometer can cost from around £10 and so combine accuracy with affordability.

The other particularly critical temperature for safe food production is during storage. High risk foods need to be kept at cold temperatures to minimise the growth of harmful (pathogenic) bacteria. A fridge thermometer is ideal for measuring cold stores, fridges, cold cabinets and other temperature controlled environments. As with the oven and cooking thermometers, fridge thermometers are available as digital, spirit and dial thermometers.

Other useful food production thermometers in the Thermometer Superstore range include jam and sugar thermometers, toffee thermometers and yogurt thermometers.

A hygrometer measures the moisture content in the environment making them ideal for places such as workplaces and greenhouses where relative humidity of particular importance.

If you are looking for an outdoor thermometer or garden thermometer you will find them in a range of options, including colourful patio dial thermometers, digital outdoor thermometers and window thermometers that can be fixed to the outside of a window, but read from inside the house. Many of our thermometers have both an internal sensor and external sensor. If the external sensor is sited outdoors (for example by passing it through a window opening) the outdoor temperature and indoor temperature can be monitored at the same time. Many of our indoor/outdoor thermometers also have a hygrometer built into them, providing extra functionality, so that the relative humidity of the room in which they are positioned can be monitored.

Our extensive range of accessories include a vast number of probes and sensor, temperature recording logbooks and protective cases for delicate equipment.

We can also offer calibration services to verify the accuracy of our equipment including UKAS Certificates.
